Rahul Baxi
CTO, Founder, and AI Alignment Researcher in San Mateo, CA
I build tools that help people share what they create.
I’m the Cofounder & CTO of Smartypans, where we’re reinventing how cooking becomes content. Our sensor-AI cookware records cooking in real time and automates recipes, nutrition, and content workflows, so creators can focus on creativity, not admin work.
I also work as an independent researcher, studying how understanding, ethics, and agency emerge in intelligent systems. My research includes CDCT and ongoing work on frameworks for aligned AI cognition.
